Forums: NZ Music,

i vote disasteradio

2nd that...
"Pick up the phone, I know that you're home!"

"I'll leave a message right after the tone.."

that evermore song is nice...
so is the mint chicks one...

What, no nomination for 'Leather and Tattoos'?

The Pluto one is my least favourite on the album, so I think it's an odd choice, but I still dig it.

whaaaat, it's my fav the way the vocals swing in the verse.... i reckon it's the best on the record.. the chords remind me of crowded house - fall at your feet. given the other nominees it should hose in!!... i kinda wish it *popped* more in the choruses or something, anyway it's all class

i like the pluto song best on the album too.. but Joanna's pluto-fan-ness is on another level!

hey now, if seeing them play 'Perfectly Evil' live doesn't make you want to dry hump everyone in sight, then I put it to you that you are dead on the inside.

Long White Cross rulz alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 4eva!!!

Annnnyway, yeah I love that song. It makes ME wanna hug a carebear.

should be dave dobbyn - loyal. i mean come on, the guy is so bloody loyal.

And the winner is...............
Evermore?

good on 'em and all...but...kind of an uninspiring choice.

quite surprised at the lack of indignation on this topic on this site really...... evermore???
over long white cross???

what a fecken trav..arse...stey

you get what you settle for - and this is settling way below the line in the mustard....

I, for one, have totally given up feeling any sense of outrage with regards to the outcome of any industry award. Names. Hat. Winner. What are you going to do?

I think the wrong song won for sure, but I'm no in the least bit surprised that IT didn't and Evermore's Coldplay rip off did.

//I, for one
(+2, funny)
been reading much slashdot lately perchance, noizy?

// been reading much slashdot lately perchance, noizy?

no, I can't handle their threading system!

is 'I, for one', a slashdot cliche?

...

ah, right - it's pretty prevalent on the metafilter discussion threads as well...

Like many other great sayings it originated originated on the Simpsons in an episode where Kent Brockman mistook footage of ants for giant invading aliens and said "I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords."

It might be just me but "I, for one, welcome" never gets old. It's as good as "Please to be... " and "All your x are belong to us"

heh.

The very tall youngest one in my family was at the awards and gave a bit of shit to a couple of high fliers. I don't know if this is entirely true, but it seems that the APRA judges are Australian and evermore were the only band they had had any exposure to over there. Interesting, I thought, considering that they are NZ music awards.
